Set the centerspeaker between the front left and rightspeakers and no further from thelistening position than the front speakers.• Consult the owner’s manual for yoursubwoofer for advice on placing thesubwoofer within the listening room.• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place themslightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to thewalls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at theprime listening position.(2) Using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakersFor the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, ordipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker(monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.SubwooferSurround speakerFront speaker60 to 90 cmSurround speakers120°Front speakers60°MonitorCenter speakerAs seen from aboveAs seen from aboveAs seen from the sidePath of the surround soundfrom the speakers to thelistening positionSpeaker setting examplesHere we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes.
